Kitchen Fan Replacement – What You Need to Know

That humming sound, a wet wall, or a musty smell? Those are common signs your kitchen fan is on its last legs. A faulty fan not only makes cooking uncomfortable, it can lead to mould and higher energy bills. Replacing it might feel like a big job, but with the right steps you can get it done fast and without stress.

When to Replace Your Kitchen Fan

First, figure out if the fan really needs a new unit. Look for these clues: the fan won’t turn on at all, it runs but barely moves air, the motor makes grinding noises, or you see visible rust and damage. If cleaning the filter and checking the wiring doesn’t help, it’s time to think about replacement.

Another tip is to check the age. Most kitchen fans last 8‑10 years. If yours is older than that and you’re already dealing with recurring problems, a fresh fan will save you money in the long run. New models are more energy‑efficient, so you’ll see lower power bills too.

How Wells Appliance Repairs Handles the Job

At Wells Appliance Repairs we send a qualified technician right to your door. They start by confirming the problem, then recommend the best fan for your kitchen size and layout. We carry a range of popular brands, so you won’t have to hunt for a part yourself.

The installation itself takes about an hour. The tech removes the old unit, checks the wiring, and fits the new fan securely. We also test the fan at different speeds to make sure it’s quiet and powerful enough for your cooking needs.

We know you don’t want a messy kitchen, so we tidy up all debris and dispose of the old fan responsibly. Our service includes a brief walk‑through so you understand how to clean and maintain the new fan, keeping it running smoothly for years.

If you’re unsure about the right fan, we offer a free advice call. Tell us the size of your kitchen, the type of cooking you do, and any ventilation requirements (like a hood). We’ll suggest a fan that meets UK building regs and fits your budget.

Pricing is transparent – you get a clear quote before any work starts, and there are no hidden fees. For most standard replacements the total cost (parts and labour) stays under £200, but we’ll confirm the exact amount once we see the existing setup.
